The Assignment

Create a web page presentation using R Markdown that features a plot created with Plotly. Host your webpage on either GitHub Pages, RPubs, or NeoCities. Your webpage must contain:

  • the date that you created the document
  • a plot created with Plotly

Background

  • Data set: I discovered the data set used in this assignment while watching the MTV True Crime - Tragic Accident or Calculated Murder? episode, which explored the circumstances surrounding the death of Kenneka Jenkins.

  • Graphs/plots: The plots on the following pages are simple explorations of different types of visualizations. Upon hover over of the boxplot, you’ll see the date expressed as the number of days since the epoch. For most systems, this date is 1970-01-01. This date is different if the data is imported from Excel on a Mac (1904-01-01 - please see the “Importing Dates from Numeric Format” section of the Date Formats in R post on the R-bloggers blog)
